T56 reverse lockout

[85ss/85gn]

What is everyone do about reverse lockout on a t56? Working on installing a t56 in my car. Keep it or remove it?

It's there on my Camaro, but not wired up. Makes getting into reverse more of an effort, but easily doable. If you don't have a PCM capable of controlling it, no sweat.

I'm using a line lock/nitrous button shifter ball on a hurst shifter.

I use it, controlled by the stock ECM.

I've heard people swap or cut the spring so it's lighter.

It's a pain to put it in reverse without it connected.

Factory computer controls all of my cars with it. Can wire it to a switch like above if you don't have a computer to run it, definitely worth having.

Not run a ecm

Wire it in on a push button switch, 12v IGN on one side, ground with the switch on it.

I've heard people hook it to the brake light circuit as you probably have the brakes on when you're putting it in reverse, but it gets messy because it's switching on all the time and might burn the coil out over time, not sure if that's anything too worry about.

Yea I wouldn't want it on the brakes circuit.
